    AbstractIntensive care unit (ICU) survivors experience longstanding psychological impairments that persist in the months to years following ICU discharge, regardless of severity of illness or extent of physical recovery. Risk factors for psychological problems following critical illness have been identified including early symptoms of acute stress. Assessment of psychological symptoms in ICU patients and survivors remains inconsistent and many do not receive appropriate psychological evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. Screening patients for psychological impairments early and serially following hospitalization is crucial to addressing patients' needs and mitigating long-term distress, as is connecting patients to outpatient mental health follow-up for treatment.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
